Chandigarh: Former India pacer Javagal Srinath did not comment on Ramachandra Guha's suggestion that he should be inducted into the Committee of Administrators (CoA).

Guha, who has tendered his resignation in Supreme Court on Thursday, has suggested Srinath's name as his replacement in a letter to Vinod Rai.

"I have not heard anything of that sort. I have not even applied my mind (on the issue). I think I will first see what has been written and what has been said, and react later to it," Srinath said at a promotional on Friday.

He felt that the time is not appropriate to air one's views on alleged rift between chief coach Anil Kumble and captain Virat Kohli.

"The time is not right to speak about these things. I think we all need to be a little more positive to see this issue. We want India to do well in this Champions Trophy," Srinath said.

"Anil has a big stature in Indian cricket and Virat Kohli is a wonderful talent. I think we should allow them to finish this tournament first. We should wish the Indian team instead of speculating about who said what and what are the differences," emphasised Srinath.

"I think we need to support them in unison in order to make sure India win this tournament. There is no point in discussing these things at the moment," he said.

In his letter to CoA chairman Vinod Rai, Guha had written: "Based on my knowledge of the subject, I would say Javagal Srinath would be an excellent choice. He is a world-class cricketer, was a successful and scandal-free Secretary of the Karnataka State Cricket Association and is an ICC match referee, and comes from an educated technical background to boot.

"I strongly urge the chairman and the other members to consider approaching him in this regard.

"He would complement Diana perfectly, and the combination of these two respected and top class former cricketers would enhance our credibility and effectiveness enormously."

On India's chances in the Champions Trophy, Srinath, the veteran of 229 ODIs and 67 Tests, said: "We have a good crop of fast bowlers.

IPL has done a good job in keeping them match fit. The more you bowl, the better you are. Two months of constant cricket under pressure, I think that is great preparation for the Champions Trophy."

He added: "The Indian team has been playing good cricket. I feel this Indian team is very much ready to play the Champions Trophy."

Srinath twice played the Champions Trophy. He was a part of the squad that reached the semi-finals in the inaugural edition back in 1998.
